These and allied conditions may be treated with success in a majority of cases by nerve block or local infiltration:
Paravertebral – Careful localization of the zone of tenderness permits a determination of the corresponding trunk levels to be injected.
Perineural – In some instances, as in sciatica, the affected nerve can be injected at a site distant from its origin.
Local Infiltration – Multiple injections throughout an area of tenderness provide for diffusion into all the affected parts.
